We all know what a bunch of unethical charlatans those in the City are. But it really does seem that desperate times call for desperate measures as
they are prepared to do almost anything to keep their jobs.
A poll by IT security firm Cyber-Ark revealed a third of City workers would do their utmost to take a peek at the redundancy list to find out if their name was on it, choosing to bribe a mate in the HR department first.
And those in HR would naturally blow the whistle straight away... wouldn't you?
Four in ten say they have taken data just in-case they themselves get the boot with the majority admitting it's easy to do so. A third would also pass on company information if it proved useful in getting friends or family a job.
Mark Fullbrook, UK director of Cyber-Ark says: "This survey shows that many workers are willing to do practically anything to ensure job security or make themselves more marketable - including committing a crime."
Ethics - who needs them?

I would pay to tell someone in the city they were going to be made redundant...but if they want to give me money to do it, then who am I to complain!
